High-fat diet changes daily eating patterns in male mice prone to obesity but not in those resistant to it

Abstract

Male obesity-prone mice gained more weight and fat when fed a high-fat diet compared to obesity-resistant mice.

  • Abnormal meal timing, such as late-night snacking, is linked to obesity in humans.
  • Disruption of daily eating rhythms contributes to obesity in mice.
  • Obesity-prone male mice showed a significant reduction in the daily rhythm of eating behavior when on a high-fat diet.
  • Obesity-resistant male mice maintained their eating behavior rhythms despite high-fat diet feeding.
  • High-fat feeding did not affect locomotor activity rhythms in either obesity-prone or obesity-resistant male mice.
